CARTOGRAPHY OF COLONIALISM, ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND LIBERTARIAN ZONES FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF EPISTEMOLOGIES OF THE SOUTH

Abstract

The proposal of a cartography of colonialism incites indisciplinary thinking, which transits in the interregnum of readings that analyze the movement of commodity capitalism, environmental conflicts and struggles for libertarian zones. In Brazil, the destruction of the Amazon forest, the mining tragedies and the violence against forest peoples are examples that place nature in a condition subdued by the colonialism of power. In this article, affiliat with epistemologies of the South to rethink the place of nature in environmental policy from the handicraft socio-environmental practices in the Amazon, as in the case of Indigenous Lands and Extractive Reserves.
